Emporia Energy does not currently offer a public API for direct programmatic access to device or account data. However, there is strong interest in this capability, and an official API remains a long-term goal. This guide covers community alternatives, requested integrations, and discontinued features.
Local Device Access
At this time, direct local access to Emporia device data is not available on any Emporia product, including all Vue energy monitors and EV chargers. The devices do not expose a local API or direct network interface — all data flows through the Emporia cloud.
We understand that local access is important to many customers, and we appreciate the feedback. While there are no immediate plans to introduce local access capabilities, customer interest continues to be a factor in how we prioritize future development.
API Access
Emporia does not currently offer a public API for direct programmatic access to device or account data. An official API remains a long-term goal, and we continue to evaluate options for secure, supported API access based on customer and partner demand.
In the meantime, several community-developed open-source projects provide programmatic access to Emporia data:
PyEmVue — Python library for accessing Emporia device data
HA Emporia Vue — Python-based Home Assistant integration
VueGraf — Python integration for InfluxDB
Emporia-Vue-Hubitat — Groovy-based Hubitat integration
emporia-api-go — Go library for Emporia data
Emporia Downloader — Java-based download tool (currently archived)
Important: These projects are developed and maintained independently of Emporia Energy. We are not able to officially support them, but many customers have found them useful for building custom integrations and automations.

The following platforms are not currently supported by Emporia. There is no specific development timeline for any of these at this time:

Discontinued Integrations
SmartCar (Electric Vehicle Integration)
The SmartCar integration for adding electric vehicles to the Emporia app was discontinued in February 2024 (app version 3.8.0).

New EVs: The ability to add new EVs via SmartCar is no longer available
No impact on Emporia chargers: Emporia EV chargers operate with full feature functionality without EV/SmartCar integration
EV battery information: You can continue to use your EV manufacturer's app to view detailed battery information
